SC regrets govt’s talks with Tehreek-i-Labbaik to end sit-in
[DAWN] The Supreme Court has said that negotiations like the ones the government held with leaders of the Tehrik-e-Labbaik Ya Rasoolullah (TLY) to end its 20-day sit-in at the Faizabad Interchange encourage protesters to try to take over the capital and paralyse state functions in a bid to pressurise the government for the acceptance of their demands.The observation came during the hearing by a two-judge SC bench headed by Justice Mushir Alam of a suo motu ...a legal term, from the Latin.

The AG conceded that Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code was not enough to prevent such circumstances. The apex court expressed dissatisfaction over the reports submitted by the Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligenceagency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
